So after that save file modding thread, I looked up some things on Youtube.

I found this:

It lists all of the vehicles and weapons available in the game. They've went through every possible ID and couldn't find the jetpack or the UFO. They did however mention some DLC vehicles that they couldn't access.

It is pretty sad and hard to admit, but I just don't think that the jetpack and UFO exist in the game as drive able vehicles or equip able weapons, unless they pulled some matrix level sh*t to hide it.

People just can't accept it, my friend. They'll keep saying this is not definitive, no proof, and will waste their time (and others').

I saw first hand the same happen to 2004's SA and all those myths. I was a forum moderator back then (not here, of course) and we had a hard time trying to put some logic into people's heads - even then it was useless because they wanted to keep living this fantasy that there were magical creatures in the game. And just like now, even common textures were seen as "symbols", "codes" and whatever. Even if we had good reason to say for sure that there was nothing (and I can't go into details, though - just like I couldn't back then), it was like: "then stop posting here and let us search for it!"... Just like it's now. I saw that before. Nothing changed. It seems that whenever San Andreas is involved, it can't be helped! Plus people can't take the pink glasses off when it comes to Rockstar... Everything's just "Rockstar wouldn't this, Rockstar wouldn't that, Rockstar wouldn't do that to the fanbase". C'mon, that's what YOU're saying/thinking. Do you work for R* to know for sure if they wouldn't? Then shut up, please. This is not about loving their fanbase, being clever or whatever. They can do whatever they want - YOU are the one living in fantasy trying to pretend Rockstar this and that.

I say we move forward and let the kids play their game...
Edit: I'm not saying that there isn't an easter egg somewhere. I'm just saying that you won't get any fantastical stuff.

I think this is the final nail in the coffin of the jetpack hunt. What a let down and what a messed up thing for R* to do--drawing that pic of the guy with the jetpack, knowing that players would be searching. I guess this is how the new R* operates--on horsesh*t and baiting their fans.

I don't know, and I certainly am not nearly as clever as some of the folks who have been figuring some of this stuff out; but for what it's worth I think that if the jetpack/ufo/chilliad mystery isn't any deeper, that after so much hype and such a huge response from fans, and so much digging with black light clues and such, R* would be served well by making sure that this "mystery" leads somewhere very satisfying in the future at least.

It would be amazing to see the devs pick up on all this excitement, actually extend the "mystery", keep it amazingly complex, with deep clues and serious secrets and hidden places to explore, and give a huge payoff at the end. Really hard but really satisfying. It would ensure people keep searching, and that they get rewarded for it. Think of the excitement the sherlock holmes and nicolas cages in all of us will feel for the "next" gta and all it's secrets and plots if this one pays off well.

It could be the chance to have the deepest, most complicated, most interesting, yet most satisfying hunt in video game history. ARE U LISTENING ROCKSTAR!?!?
